More of the story unwinds.. More of the words tangle together...

I try to balance the sense of reality and charm in this story but somehow the overt harshness of its actual truth seems to overpower the tone.
I suppose these are the challenges of a first time author, especially for one who wants more then a general book full of basic words.
I want it to come alive in the reader's hands and mind.
I want the empathy , the giggles , the sense of relating to the character in a personal way.
Sometimes I become so woven into the story that I confuse myself with her.
I suppose that is abit how an actor might feel about a role.
So I resume my fresh battle with naked facts ,word pictures.. and living alongside them.
